The death has taken place of Cork ladies football liaison officer Bridget O'Brien.

Bridget made a huge contribution to Cork's remarkable success at senior level over the last decade, having been a key part of the management teams of Eamonn Ryan and Ephie Fitzgerald. She also enjoyed All-Ireland club success with her beloved Rockban.

The much-liked Grenagh woman is survived by her husband John, children Patrick, Emily and Anne and grandchildren Dylan and Erin.

On behalf of @CorkLGFA I want to extend our deepest sympathy to the John, husband, and family of Bridget O'Brien RIP who passed away last night. I also extend our sympathies to her club, Rockbán LGFC. THE woman behind the most successful @LadiesFootball All ireland winning team.
